How Often Should You Have
Check-Ups?
Preschool visits:
- I see patients age 5 and older, but I will recommend a pediatric dentist upon request.
From school age, a child should visit a dentist every 1-2 years, depending on how cavity-prone he or she seems to be. Schedule a visit sooner if your child has
- Toothache, a sign of decay
- Bleeding of the gums, other than slight bleeding caused by brushing
- Dental trauma caused by a fall or other injury to the face. If your child chips a tooth or knocks it out, call for instructions.
As an adult, you should have cleanings and/or check-ups every 6-12 months, depending again on whether you are prone to cavities gum disease.
Remember that cavities caught early can be treated painlessly with air abrasion; larger cavities may require an injection and drilling.
